-STAFF REPORT- This weekend, the LUChameleon celebrates its one year anniversary. It’s been a whirlwind year for us. We published our very first issue last November. We started this publication because we wanted to give a voice to the alternative students on campus. We wanted to provide another student media opportunity on campus, as well as “talk about things that aren’t usually talked about publicly” on campus. We started out with the half the number of staff members that we have now, with no resources whatsoever, and we started out as an online only magazine more »
OPINION: The truth about tampons in advertising
By Jill Kreider Chameleon Staff Writer If you’ve been on the internet in the past few past weeks, you’ve probably seen or heard about the sarcastic British commercial from Bodyform, a company that makes pads and tampons. The commercial is actually a response to man named Richard who posted on their Facebook page, complaining about how Bodyform lied to men about what really goes on during that “wonderful time of month” and that he only found out the truth when he got a girlfriend. In a surprisingly honest response to his post, an actress portraying the company’s more »

By Aviana Willis Section Editor There were many moving speeches and memorable moments at this year’s Democratic National Convention that took place in Charlotte, N.C. The image and moment I remember most is that of First Lady Michelle Obama in a pink dress speaking passionately about her husband. “…He believes that women are more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies and our health care…That’s what my husband stands for,” she said. In that same speech, she mentioned the president’s signage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that was meant to close the more »

Nuts and bolts of feminism
By Marie Janzen Assistant Multimedia Editor In the 1990’s, TIME magazine, along with the rest of society, questioned whether feminist still existed, especially among young women. Feminism has come a long way from the nineteenth century. In an age where society tells a woman she has the possibility to achieve just as much as a man, it’s hard to see where feminism has a role. The reality is that gender discrimination does still exist in many forms. 19 percent of Americans believe that in a household where both partners work, it is not right for the more »
